Occupied

So, seems I havn't updated in a while... which is weird. It's not like I'm busy or anything, but whatever. Age of Empires 3 has occupied my free-time recently, haha. It's a good game, so people who like strategy games, look into it. It's pretty good. I can't compare it to the 1st or 2nd one cause I never played the 2nd one and I don't remember the first. But I've enjoyed this one so far.

Also confirmed is that I will be starting work with Samaritans Purse on Nov. 15 for approximately 6 weeks. As for what I'll be doing exactly. It will not be handling the shoeboxes in the warehouse, but it will be handling the monetary donations that come in with the shoeboxes. So, it will be data processing. The cool thing is that there will be devotions every morning, and MWF will be combined devotions with the entire Billy Graham Evangelistical Association.

Currently un-occupied is the English Side Pastoral position, which we tried to fill today by trying to persuade Pastor Kat to come back for good. :P She says she'll pray about it. :P It was really nice seeing her back and her sermon on Sunday was really good as well.

Oh, I also took Elijah around the block for a 2nd tour-of-trick-or-treating after dinner tonight and it was pretty cool. Didn't get much candy cause most of the houses had closed down for the night (IT WAS ONLY 8!!) and then he said... "id cowd", so we went home. :P






My Photos Updated

Birthday

Okay, my bad. Seems some people thought that my birthday was when I posted that last blog, but it wasn't. :P It was today... or actually yesterday now. Friday the 14th. The cake was added on to the Thanksgiving Feast. But yeah, thought I'd clear that up, and because I don't have much to blog on. Just that... I GOT TICKITS TO THE FLAMES GAME ON MONDAY!! Phoenix... not exactly the same as Edmonton tonight... but oh well. Get to watch Gretzky's first game as coach... at the saddledome. :P And Jenny's right. I am getting old. Very old. I felt so dead... so tired halfway through hockey tonight. Maybe it was having 2 dinners tonight... or maybe it was because we played 4 on 4 because we didn't have enough players... but either case. I'm the youngest guy there, I should be able to outplay them all. haha. not even close. And King. Your brother has way too much energy. I mean, near the end of the game when most of us is dragging ourselves around the ice, he's flying around, haha. And he even goes for some extra laps after we call it quits. Sheesh. :P Okay, that is all. See you all tomorrow for Fright Night. :P

Edit: Thanks everyone (especially Jacko for organizing) for the surprise dinner, and the gifts and the warm wishes. It was great. And thanks Flono for warning me in advance, even though you didn't intend to, haha... I'm sure they'll get you back for that. :P And Fright Night... oh, the memories.

Happy Thanksgiving/Birthday

Ack. I'm getting old. And I still have not established myself anywhere. Sigh.

But Thanksgiving. So much food. :P My parents had 40 ppl over last night and only half the food was eaten, so you can guess at how much leftovers we have for this week. Haha, no need to cook this entire week... well, except for the Cell Group dinner. But yeah, now the only thing left for this week is for me to get a job. But since I'm pretty much done waiting for the hospital to call back, I shall go drop off a resume at Christian Pub... and if nothing comes out of that, then I shall go for Superstore nextweek.

My Photos updated.

Opening Faceoff

I must say, tonights game was a bit disappointing. Not only did the Flames get beat 6-3 by Minnesota, but they could have easily won the game if they had come out and played hard right off the bat. But instead, it took them till the 3rd period to show up and by then it was already too late. But the potential seen in the 3rd period looks great. Now if only they can maintain that type of play every period, every game, then the Flames will definately reach their lofty expectations. However, if they keep coming out flat like they did tonight, then we're in trouble. But no need to start panicking right now, it's just one game. Philadelphia lost as well... to the NY Rangers.
Though hopefully with Regehr back in the line-up in a month, the defence will be better as Montador played pretty poorly and Hamrlik had way too many defensive lapses. Both Hamrlik and Simon really has got to work on their skating, they were both beat by the speed of Minnesota on multiple occasions. And Special Teams was horrible tonight. 1 for 8 on the power play? Horrible. 1 for 3 on the penalty kill? Horrible.
But high-scoring in the New-Look NHL. 16 out of the 26 teams that have already played tonight scored 3 or more goals.

Starting Line-up

Okay okay, so I havn't updated in quite a while and some of you are becoming upset. But honestly, I was just going slower for those of you who have less time to check blogs on a regular basis so that you can remain caught up. :P Actually, okay, the real reason is becuase I'm stuck at home with no school and no job and there really isn't anything to update about.
Job Update: no change... no calls... no new applications.
School Update: SAIT winter semester registrations are still not up... Mount Royal fall semester registrations are still not up either. So, playing the waiting game. And wondering... Paramedics or Nursing? Only thing stopping me from pursuing Paramedics fully is questioning whether or not I can handle all the situations I will be in (stressful, death and mother nature). The only thing really stopping me from pursuing Nursing is... the perspective of being a man-nurse. haha

Otherwise... starting line-up for the flames. Appears that this is what the flames will be using when the puck drops officially in a weeks time. (New Line up/My Predicted Lineup)

Amonte - Langkow - Iginla / Amonte - Langkow - Iginla
Simon - Reinprecht - Kobasew / Reinprecht - Lombardi - Kobasew
Nilson - Yelle - McCarty / Simon - Nilson - Donovon
Wiemer - Ritchie/Lombardi - Donovon / Wiemer - Yelle - McCarty

Surprise for the forwards is Ritchie. Tough call to make though. Lombardi has been playing really well as well. The only player that I think hasn't had a strong training camp is Wiemer, but he's being paid 1mil, so I think he'll be in for sure. So who sits out? Both Ritchie and Lombardi have played really well and both deserve to be in the lineup. So far... the number 1 line hasn't done too much, hopefully they find their chemistry and start producing. The number 2 line has been really good and has produced regularly. The 3rd line has found chemistry together and is doing well. The 4th line has not played together regularly enough to say. Nystrom has also made a strong statement to stay as well, but with the depth up front, I think he will definately be down in Omaha for his rookie year.

Regehr - Leopold / Regehr - Leopold
Hamrlik - Phaneuf / Hamrlik - Ferrence
Warrener - Ferrence / Warrener - Phaneuf

With Regehr out with a knee injury for a month... Ferrence will probably move up to play with Regehr, while Montador moves in to play with Warrener. The question now is... who will be the 8th defenceman? Giordano or Ritchie Regehr? Both have played really well. Regehr, Leopold, Warrenr, Ferrence and Montador are playing like they did during the playoffs, so good. Hamrlik has been steady but hasn't produced offensively yet (1 of the reasons why we signed him). Phaneuf has been steady but has had some inconsistent nights, hopefully he becomes more consistent over time.

Kiprusoff / Kiprusoff
Sauve / Sauve
Krahn / Krahn

Kiprusoff is showing that he will be a candidate for the Vezina, so that's good. He's looking to prove to everyone that he isn't a one-hit wonder. Sauve has played well lately, but so has Krahn. However, Krahn still has never played a full pro-season as a starting goalie, so he definately should go down to prove his mantle in Omaha.

That's all from Geo... the "hockey pro". haha

The First Snow

Well, summer was officially over yesterday (Sept. 21), and today was the first snow. Granted, it didn't snow in Calgary, just in Banff and area, but still... I was there, and there was snow... a lot of snow as well. Ack. But it does feel strange definately, summer is over and I'm still in Calgary. I'm so used to being back in Edmonton by now, but now I'm stuck at home with nothing (productive) to do. Sigh, hopefully I get one of the jobs I applied for (2 at the foothills and 1 at the childrens - - and incase you are like Marvin, no the new Childrens hospital hasn't opened yet, we do have another childrens hospital already in operation in Calgary. :P).
In other news, dropped by Future Shop on the way to dinner today and guess what I found? Yup, X-men Legends 2, haha. Now I just need to find time to play it. :P I have relatives over so the TV is occupied right now, I'm so tempted to moving that secondary one into my room so I can start playing right NOW!! actually, I'm probably going to go do that now, haha.

Security Breach

So, went out to get Xmen Legends 2 today... and couldn't find it anywhere (superstore, future shop, wal-mart). I was so sure that it was supposed to be released today, and I came home and checked online and it says in stores NOW!! Where is it?? I WANT IT!! argh, oh well... I ended up buying Smallville Season 4, haha, so I'll still have something to do. :P

Then my mom and I, went to the airport to pick up some relatives who are in town for the weekend. We got there early, so we decided to take a walk around the shops, and we end up seeing this HUGE line-up, from Gate A all the way down at least half the length of the airport... and the reason was... a security breach. Apparently, it was big enough that they re-directed EVERYONE to Gate B, and even took the people who were already inside and on planes back off to reboard through Gate B. Interesting...

GROSS

Get Rid Of Slimy Girls Club

Who knows where that club is from? ah... no points. No props. Just a kudos out to whoever knows. haha. :P

Anyways, came home tonight from Sam's early birthday party, since he won't be in town next week, and guess what I saw while catching up on the news on sports through the good ol' Calgary Herald? Yup, it was something gross. Something that I detest. And yup, it was a bug, but not just any type of bug. Not a mere spider, or a fly... but a CENTIPEDE. Man, I hate centipedes. They're so gross, and SOOOO freakin' quick. I'm scared of picking it up with a kleenex cause of all their pointy legs (it gives me shivers just thinking about touching a centipede) and trying to use something to carry them outside or to their watery grave (the toilet) is so difficult cause they're just so quick and they scamper everywhich direction so quickly that you end up missing or it heads towards your fingers and you drop them back to the ground, haha. Luckily, this one was right at the kitchen door, so I just opened the door, let it climb on a sheet of kleenex and then I tossed it quickly outside. This was unfortunately, the 3rd centipede I have found in the house in the past year. The first one... I actually forgot what happened to it, but it disappeared, so I'm pretty sure somebody killed it. The second one... I let it crawl into a sheet of kleenex, and then used my pincers to pick up the kleenex and deposit it in the toilet. :P I hate centipedes.

Though not as much as I hate bees/wasps/hornets. I get so creeped out around them. I had to go to the bottle depot last week and the place has been infested by hornets this summer, and waiting outside for half-an-hour just freaked me out. Hornets were flying everywhere, going in and out of all the bottles and I honestly wanted to just leave the bottles and run away. There were 2 hornets in one of the bottles and when I went to lift it, they started buzzing so much that it felt sooooo strange and freaky that I ended up tossing that bottle into the garbage can right next to me (the garbage can was holding bottles meant for deposit, so I didn't waste it). Ack, so gross.

Eyes Wide Open (part. lll)

I had this dream, a very vivid dream, back when I was probably 6 years old or so. One so vivid that I still remember to this very day. I remember clearly getting up early in the morning before my alarm went off because I really had to go pee. So, I head off to the washroom, lift up the seat and take a pee. After that, I feel so much better and relaxed that I head back to bed and go back to sleep, only to wake up... all wet. Yup... dreams do affect you in reality. :P

It's HOCKEY time. Yeah baby.

So, played some good ol' ice hockey tonight... after playing only once in the past 3 years. Yup, it's been a long, long time. Surprisingly, I did alright. I tripped over my own stick once (which I didn't think was possible, haha), and fell a couple times without any help from anybody else. :P But otherwise, I was able to somewhat match the speed (though these guys seriously are way too fast) and my positional play was decent. But my balance, man... no balance whatsoever. Really need to work on getting my center of gravity lower. :P

Other hockey news. Professional hockey returns to Calgary. Time to see how the new CBA/Rules/Teams work out. As for the Flames... looking pretty good, but then again. New rules, and everyteam has changed so drastically (excluding Washington, Minnesota and Carolina) that its really hard to tell how the team will do this year. Anyhow, here is my prediction for the Flames lineup.

Amonte - Langkow - Iginla
Reinprecht - Lombardi - Kobasew
Simon - Nilson - Donovon
Wiemer - Yelle - McCarty
Ritchie
(Looks like we should be able to have all 4 lines rolling since all 4 lines are fully capable. Hopefully Lombo has gotten over his concussion and Kobasew finally breaks out after a stellar year in the AHL last year. Wouldn't want to be playing against our checking line of Wiemer/Yelle/McCarty and the other 3 lines all have speed to kill, sweet. haha)

Regehr - Leopold
Hamrlik - Ferrence
Warrener - Phaneuf
Montador
(Defense looks like it will be top 5 in the league. Even with injuries, we have so many defenceman that can play 25+ per game, it should be awesome. Regehr (possible Canadian olympian) Leopold (possible American olympian) Hamrlik (possible Czech olympian) Phaneuf (future Canadian olympian) and both Warrener and Ferrence are more than reliable. Montador, has got to be the best 7th d in all the league)

Kiprusoff
Sauve
Krahn
(Hopefully Kipper can play up to his extremely high expectations now. It doesn't look like he'll be a one-year wonder since he played really well during the World Cup and had good numbers last year in Europe. Sauve... needs work before he becomes a decent backup. Krahn, needs the minutes, will be in AHL for sure.)

Now for some Oiler bashing. :P Getting Pronger and Peca was a nice move. Losing Brewer and more than a few young up-and-coming players was not such a good thing. Ryan Smyth so far hasn't signed a contract yet. So your defensive side has improved... but now you have no scorers on your team. No offense whatsoever. Smyth? He's good in the corners and in front of the net, but most of his points is from playing with more talented offensive players and garbage goals. Maarkanen (sp?) broke his collar bone last week, but even with him and Conklin playing net. Neither is proven and at most will be average netminders for this season. Both require more experience... but then again, one of them might break out with a stellar year. I think they still have a chance in making it to the playoffs since they still have a ton of speed to kill and their defence got a much needed facelift... but I highly doubt that with the team they have now, that they will be able to make it deep in the playoffs. :P Okay, you oilers fans, lets hear what you have to say, haha.
And flames fans as well...

Ogopogo

Spent a week out at the Lake Okanagan Resort... ended up finishing up 3 books since we didn't rent a boat this year and didn't have much to do except relax, eat and sleep. :P Which isn't all that bad, but cruising on the lake on a boat or being pulled along on a water-tube is a lot of fun as well. So, didn't have a chance to see the Ogopogo... which is the 'monster' of Lake Okanagon. :P Some serpantine creature similar to the Lockness Monster. haha. I ended up flying back to Calgary last night, to make it back for the CPC Open House/DVBS Followup-Reunion, which was awesome. Got to see a lot of the kids come (though I guess most of the kids were KFC/YAC regulars already). So it was all good. Though, I found out that Shauna is making the trip out the lake with the other Newberries today... sigh... which sucks, cause I actually wanted to see her again. Oh well, got to chat with her on msn last night, just to make sure she wouldn't get mad that I had already left. :P Since we were talking about me driving out to Kamloops with AJ and Stef to visit her or her to come to the lake. Both were pretty slim chances, but now she is going in and whoops, haha. Anyways, nothing much to write. Karen and Eva are now a part of the blogging community. And I have nothing to do for this fall... sigh... hope I get that job. :P

Be PrePrayered

Wow, camp was awesome this year. Even though it rained every single day (except for the last day), which means that we were inside more than we usually are during summer camps. I also didn't go to the lake this year either, no swimming, no water-trampolines, no tossing others off the trampoline. :P But other than the rain, it was still an awesome camp. I can honestly say that I have never laughed as much or as hard as I have during this years summer camp than in any other camp I've ever gone to. It was great. :P Rev. Ron Powell was an awesome speaker that taught us a lot on prayer and faith and of being pure. A lot on life-app. which is great, cause it prepeares you for what you can do at home on your own, instead of just coming to camp and trying to get revived/renewed in a week. It was also a lot of fun having a lot of the youth come out and I hope they got a lot ouf ot this camp. It was hilarious watching them try to take and dish out pranks :P Ah, summer camps, just got to love them.

So Fat

So, I finally got my stitches out yesterday, and man does it look ugly. Also, my thumb is now quite fat and swollen. And it hurts to bend it, which is actually kinda scaring me. I'm really hoping that overtime, my mobility will be back to normal, and that I didn't cut a tendon or anything... really hoping and praying. Oh, and while we're on the topic of being fat... I seemed to have gained over the summer, even though I'm eating less (I think...) playing with kids everyday and even playing soccer at least once a week... sigh... hopefully it's all muscle mass. :P

Hmmm... there's not much for me to blog right now... I just havn't updated for a while, so I thought I would... err... NHL is coming back, hooray. Calgary looks pretty strong right now (though everybody is gaining new people and everything, so i wonder how we'll actually do...) Amonte for Gelinas. Good trade. McCarty for Clark. Aweome trade. Langkow for Conroy. Good trade. Phaneuf for Gauthier and Commodore. Awesome trade. Now to see if we sign anybody else. :P

JesusExpo 2005 - The Joy and the Pain

Wow, JesusExpo was AWESOME! There was so many people that showed up, it was just... Awesome. There's no other words to describe it. Great Job everybody. Kudos to those who worked the Face Painting/Balloon Booth, cause you guys had non-stop work all day. But yeah, the worship service at the very end of the day was also Awesome. :P Anyways, guess all I can say about JesusExpo was that it was Awesome. Thank You God for the beautiful weather and the awesome turnout and the lack of complications throughout the day.

So, I guess that's the joy. :P Now to the pain... So... I got 4 stitches today. The first time I've ever gotten stitches, so I guess it was a... cool... experience. :P As for why I got 4 stitches... it was because I kinda stabbed myself in the side of my thumb with a knife. So, now my thumb is stitched up and bandaged and in extreme pain. However, I guess it wouldn't have been as bad if it didn't happen because of my own stupidity and happened because of something uncontrollable or unpredictable. BUT... it WAS because of stupidity (my own stupidity), so that makes this injury that much worse, cause it was totally preventable. For those of you wondering... I was tired and was rushed (or felt rushed), so I wasn't thinking... and I took my SwissArmyKnife to cut through some ducttape that was holding 2 hoses together... and when I cut through it... the knife slipped out and stabbed me in the thumb, and then the blood came squirting out... yes... squirting. I was actually surprised how calm I was at first... Andrew asked if I was alright and I said I was... and just stuck the thumb into my mouth so that blood wouldn't squirt everywhere on the street and walked to the first-aid kit and tried to bandage my own finger. However... when I realized that I couldn't put the bandaid on because of the massive amounts of blood coming out and that it wasn't going to stick... I started freaking out and ran out looking for my mommy. :P Luckily, my mom (a nurse), Auntie Daisy and Dr. Robert was able to patch me up (though I nearly passed out in the washroom). After they bandaged me up... I ended up walking around and helping out with things for about another 4 hours before they finally decided that I should go to a hospital or a walk-in clinic. So that was that. Such a perfect day, such a perfect event... and I had to go and do something so stupid and put myself into so much pain, sigh... I guess it's better that I did something stupid and hurt myself instead of doing something stupid and hurting somebody else... But yeah... Kudos to Tanya for not freaking out when I came to get a bandaid for my first-aid kit, and for getting me the bandaid and the paper towels and for cleaning up the blood that I dripped on the floor. :P
Okay, time to catch up on sleep. Hopefully, my thumb won't be hurting after tonight... hopefully the kids don't do anything to it during VBS this week. Anyways... JesusExpo... so awesome. Time to kick it up yet another notch. BAM!

Early Mornings

First off... We won our soccer game tonight: 1-0. So, congrats Kenric for playing an awesome game and getting your first goose-egg. And ofcourse, AJ for getting the only goal. And I think I re-rolled my ankle again, sigh...

Secondly... I have no CAR!!!!! at least... for one day. So that means that I now have to wake up at 5:30 because I have to leave with my parents at 6:30. And since JesusExpo is on Saturday... I'll have to wake up at 5:30 then as well. ACK! Lack of sleep is going to kill me. BUT!! We are almost half-way done VBS, and it has been going extremely well, so it's been a blast. And ofcourse, JESUSEXPO!! Can't wait. Those of you who don't know about it. We are closing off an entire street in Chinatown on Saturday the 23rd of July (this coming Saturday), so you should come on down and check it out. And if you come by at the right time... you might catch me sitting in the dunktank and I know you all want a shot at dunking me. :P Okay, time to get half of my 10 hours sleep over the next two nights...

Stampede Sunday

Well... even though I was left off the list of people who went to the stampede on Jacksons blog... I did actually go!! It was pretty good, pretty much the usual. :P Though I didn't play any games this year... oh well... like I told Kenric before Stampede. "If I play games and win, what am I going to do with the stuffed animal? I really need a girlfriend... just so I can play games and give the prizes to someone without looking bad. :P" But anyways... I did end up buying a cowboy hat (black) for $40, which I don't think is too bad, and I think I'll wear it enough to make it worth while. :P Actually, I think I'll wear it everyday for this week, haha. well... maybe not. but we'll see. But I am so exhausted today... was so exhausted during VBS as well (luckily, it was a teaching day, so I didn't have to do anything straneous). All 3 of us (me, King and Karen) all slept in... though we still made it to church before any of the kids did. :P

2 In A Row

It is the starting of a streak... a winning one this time. :P We won our 2nd soccer game today and are now .500 for the season. Who would have thought? :P We are slowly improving as a team, though we are still outscored 11-5 on the season. The possible reasons as to our sudden turn-around? 1) We finally realized that even though this is called a recreational league... most other teams are competitive. Therefore, so must we be, as evidenced by most of the team now owning cleats and shin pads. 2) We finally understand the concept of positional play. Therefore, we have better passing and better coverage. 3) We added AJ (the rep league player) to the roster. Therefore, we now have more players that truly understand and know how to play the game. 4) We finally have fans that come out to watch us play that either cheer or taunt us. or 5) We've played 2 sub-par soccer teams... :P
Oh, and I didn't wipe out this time (possibly because I bought a pair of $9 cleats from Wal-Mart)... though I did misplay a trap really badly... and my left-foot kicks/passes are still really lacking.

Update (Sunday, July 10, 12:34am):
Jacklyn is a jerk. There, now you got a mention in my blog, hope you're happy now. :P

He Shoots and He Scores

Alright! We finally scored a goal in soccer, and not only that, but we finally won a game. :P It took us 3 games to finally score a goal (and it happened in such a way that we barely even celebrated the goal, haha) but we finally scored, that's all that matters. :P And we won the game 3-1... BONUS!! Strange thing though, was that we added AJ and Jon to the roster and another unrestricted free-agent that asked if we needed more players... and we still only had 3 guy subs, and no girl subs. I thought we were going to lose for sure because we had so few players show up for the game, but nope, we actually did pretty good. I think it was the fact that we were more comforatable with our positions and we weren't switching positions all the time because of line-up changes or anything, so that probably helped. We still arn't the best positional team, hehe, but it has improved drastically from our first game. Kenric also played really well today, I think the practice we made him go through on Sunday helped him a lot, cause his positioning in goal was much better tonight.

But now I am exhausted... because VBS started yesterday and now I have to wake up at 7 in the morning everyday and staying alert and active with so many kids everyday is really tiring. But so far, VBS has been going really well. No major thing/disturbance has occured yet, so that's great. :P But like always, we already have tons of things to talk about and complain about and to laugh about. Ahhh, the good times of VBS. :P It's a good thing that we did change up our structure though, cause with 35+ kids everyday, it's extremely hard to keep them together as a group. So, THANK YOU GOD. All things happen for a reason, and this is why we thought of doing it this way, because You knew how many kids we would end up having this year. Alright, time to sleep... and wake up early to figure out what to do for an animal costume....

No Pain, No Gain

This sucks. I rolled my ankle playing bball at Lindsey Park tonight. It was so awkward how it happened too, but whatever, at least it isn't sprained or broken. However, it was still a fun and enjoyable night hanging out with everybody, especially when we went swimming afterwards. Well, not really swimming, just trying to get Jon Chu to do flips off the diving boards. :P Too bad I already rolled my ankle, or else I MIGHT have gone on higher diving boards instead of just the normal one. :P Oh, and about the no pain no gain title... I don't know what I gained from all this pain. I mean, I couldn't keep on exercising or anything... sigh.

Afterwards, we went to Dennys on Pagan Trail, and man, the service was horrid. I mean, we basically got there at 11:30ish. Sat there for about 5-10 minutes and had to get the waitresses's attention before she finally realized we didn't have menus yet. She didn't come back to take our food orders until a bit after 12. And then our food didn't arrive until almost 1 o-clock. And then she forgot bits of peoples orders as well (I didn't get my white toast, Sarah didn't get her french toast and Leo didn't get his french fries). And in the end... we got all of them (excluding my toast) packed to go after 1:30 because we were all tired of waiting. Nobody got refills either until the very end when we finally got the french fries and french toast... sigh. Add ontop of all that, was that the resteraunt was really cold, and most of us got stomach aches afterwards. It was bad, worst service I've ever had/seen in my life.

And then I came home and found a centipede... A CENTIPEDE... crawling around on the basement floor. Sick. I ended up getting it to crawl onto a sheet of kleenex, and then picking up the kleenex with my pincer-toy and tossing it in the toilet. :P And now I'm sitting here blogging with my ankle under an ice-pack, wishing I could go to sleep but knowing that I really need to ice my ankle up... sigh... I really hope my ankle heals before VBS starts next week.

Okay, have an awesome Canada day people. Celebrate the decline of a great nation... sigh...
